A box of fish fingers, eaten satisfactorily in August 2008 - probably you can let that one drop into recycling.

A TV with 5yr guarantee, bought 12yrs ago - probably you can let that one drop into recycling.

A jacket bought last week - probably hold on to that one in case something goes wrong with it as you'd expect a bit of wear from it.

You should really keep them at least until you are dead.


Although financial authorities, such as HMRC and DWP, may only want to inspect receipts from the last seven years or so, that's because there are limits to how far into the past they can be bothered to peer.


The police however, judging by what I see on telly, are able to extend their investigations indefinitely. But, unlike the folk on the telly, I would have no idea what I was doing at 11:30 on August 4th 1992, if it wasn't for the receipt from Till 17 at the Doncaster Morrisons. That little slip of paper, that ephemeral list of inadvisable groceries, might well be the only thing between me and life imprisonment, the only proof I wasn't in a Warrington crypt, drawing pentacles round a lifeless verger.


You may resent having to store them, but they take up relatively little space - a lot less than the space you're at risk of losing if you don't maintain a library of alibis.

Could you prove that it was actually your receipt, Burbage? You could have taken it from the verger's pocket as an alibi. Morrison't won't keep CCTV that long, so unless you intended to summon up a helpful demon outside your protective pentagon to back-up you story, I don't think you've got a hope.Buy a drone now so your nearest and dearest can send you a few home comforts..

I thought this arrangement (and possibly law) had now been revoked.

    • Completely unacceptable. They need to fund a proper, permanent park warden presence or this sort of behaviour will get worse. Parks should be safe for all to enjoy and being assaulted and threatened by teenage gangs may put more vulnerable people off using the park altogether. If they are prepared to threaten to hurt an animal then where might it lead?
    • Now I have heard everything…..not send your kid to a school because you don’t like the name - so to get my head around this, if school is outstanding, parents won’t send their child there because of name of school? Or have I not understood?
    • A quick Google says that it is not undersubscribed unlike many subject schools so those claims mentioned above may not be true. Last Ofsted was good.  You are definitely right about the money. This is what trusts do. Remove word ‘subject’ above Remove word ‘subject’ above I can’t edit my ridiculous errors but would like to apologise  for messy post
    • I have heard claims that people don't send their children there because of the name of the school..?  I genuinely cannot get my head around this one. The school is named after the road it is on which is named after the history of the area!  'Grove Primary School' is potentially the most boring name they could have come up with, and for a school struggling financially, is rebranding the school really the best use of funds?
